Position: Tenure-Eligible ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE/ full PROFESSOR of ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING / UMKC School of Science &
SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - KANSAS CITY

Division of Energy, Matter and Systems

Energy, Matter, and Systems (EMS) is the largest and most academically diverse division in the School of Science and Engineering (SSE). The Division includes the Faculties of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Chemistry (CHEM), and Physics & Astronomy (P&A). EMS fosters cross-disciplinary collaborations in both research and education. It has been instrumental in the establishment and continued success of the Missouri Institute of Defense and Energy (MIDE), which has become one of the most successful platforms within the University of Missouri System for sponsored research and collaboration among academia, industry, and government agencies.

EMS faculty led efforts to secure multidisciplinary projects and helped UMKC attain the Carnegie R1 status.

The ECE programs in the EMS division have undergone exciting growth in recent years. In addition to the EAC-accredited BS, MS, and PhD programs, the Faculty of ECE plays a key role in several new interdisciplinary programs in Biomedical Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Sustainable Energy Technologies. The Faculty of ECE is highly active in research and holds the record for the most active research grants per tenure-system faculty on the UMKC Campus.

In addition to single PI grants, the faculty of ECE also has collaborative projects with the Schools of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Dentistry, and with other STEM and non-STEM units across the campus and beyond. The existing ECE faculty carry out frontier research in Electromagnetics, Optical and Quantum Physics and Engineering, Semiconductors and Next-Generation Electronics, Internet of Things and Future of Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Electric Power, Renewable Energy, and Control Systems, Signals, Systems, and Communications, Bioelectronics and Intelligent Health Systems.
